    How many Bytes make a Kilobyte?
    Question

    How many Bytes make a Kilobyte?

    A.

    960

    B.

    1440

    C.

    1024

    D.

    100

    Correct option is C

    The correct answer is (c) 1024.
    · A Kilobyte (KB) is equal to 1024 Bytes in computing. This is because computers use a binary system, and in binary, 1024 (which is 210) is the closest power of two to 1000, which is why a Kilobyte is defined as 1024 Bytes.
    · Although in general conversation or in marketing contexts, 1000 bytes are sometimes referred to as a Kilobyte, technically, in binary computation, it is 1024 Bytes. This base-2 system is used because computers operate on bits, which have two possible values (0 and 1).
    Information Booster:
    · 1 Kilobyte (KB) = 1024 Bytes in binary computation.
    · Computers use a binary numbering system, where 1024 is 210.
    · The term 'Kilobyte' is sometimes used loosely in marketing for 1000 Bytes, but technically, it's 1024 Bytes.
    · 1 Megabyte (MB) = 1024 Kilobytes, and 1 Gigabyte (GB) = 1024 Megabytes in binary.
    · Data storage and memory in computing are measured using powers of 2.
    · 1 gigabyte (GB) = 1024 megabytes
    · 1 terabyte (TB) = 1024 gigabytes
    · 1 petabyte (PB) = 1024 terabytes
